" Everyone from Pontiac that has read this or heard something about it could make speculations all day long. Regardless...anyone who has comments to make... who are any of us to judge? Haven't we all had issues or skeletons in our own closets. I'm sure if there is something to publish it will come out. The paper has gotten your attention on this so I doubt it will just fade away. At this point...why don't we worry about our own lives and leave others alone? Despite what their title is. "
